Here is recipe that is very good. I usually double the muffin part and make a single batch of the topping because it makes way to much. I also make them in regular size muffin tins and increase the baking time to 18-20 minutes.

Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup mashed ripe banana
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Topping
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup dry roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

In large bowl combine first seven ingredients. In small bowl combine remaining ingredients except for chocolate chips. Stir into dry ingredients just until moist. Fold in chocolate chips.
Fill greased or paper-lined mini muffin cups three-fourths full. For topping, combine ingredients in small bowl and sprinkle over muffins. Bake at 350 F. for 10-13 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire rack. Serve warm.
